Fabulous set. Rubber already attached so no fiddling around trying to get everything straight. Love the type style really old school. Good size and all lower case (always preferred). The price was fair and the quality top notch. Just pay attention to corners with ink shadows on some of the letters before you stamp. (A commonl caution when using most alphabets.) The letters stamp clean and crisp. Love the tin case, it makes it even more perfect!
I have gotten so much use of of these stamps since buying them. It's my new favorite alphabet! The blocks feel great in my hand, and the cute tin packaging keeps me from losing any of them. Plus, the additional symbols and images are fun, too.
I absolutely love love love anything Graphic 45 and this stamp set is another great product from them.I love the size of the stamps, the tin they come in, I got them for a great price too! I hope they do more sets of stamps in tins like these.

(CNN) - George Zimmerman is opening up about the night he killed Trayvon Martin.
Seven months after he was acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter in Martin's death, Zimmerman sat down to talk with CNN's Chris Cuomo about the case.
Zimmerman maintains that he acted in self-defense within the law when he shot Martin, an unarmed African-American teenager, during a confrontation.
Zimmerman says those who accuse him of being a racist don't understand his family's background.
"I actually had two full Peruvians raising me and one American. So I felt almost like two-thirds of my upbringing was that Peruvian," Zimmerman said. "I have black people in my family, so it was very shocking to me that simply based off my last name, people would make that presumption."
Zimmerman says he apologized to Martin's family during a 2012 bond hearing and would like to apologize again.
At the time, attorneys for Martin's family called the courtroom apology a self-serving act by a man facing a life prison sentence.
The Department of Justice is investigating any civil rights violations in the case, but says charges aren't expected.

January 3rd, 2011 by Peggy Farabaugh
We're proud to welcome Bruce Wilkie, one of Vermont's best fine furniture makers to our family of artisan woodworkers at Vermont Woods Studios Custom Furniture. Bruce was featured at the 2010 Vermont Fine Furniture Festival in Woodstock, VT and this is the signature piece he displayed at the show.
The Custom Collector's Cabinet is handcrafted of solid maple wood with solid black walnut drawers and beaded doors. Bruce is a seasoned expert at this, after working with wood and furniture for more than 30 years. I love to feel the smooth finish on this piece and open the drawers and doors because they are so perfectly fit. Bruce's pieces are surprisingly well priced too. I've never seen a piece with this much detail and craftsmanship offered at such a value price. Someone is going to be very lucky.
Thanks Bruce for adding your fine furniture to the body of work we have at Vermont Woods Studios. And welcome to the family!

The HtmlEditor is a C# wrapper for Microsoft's Mshtml COM component. Mshtml is the part of Internet Explorer which renders HTML. It also has an edit mode which makes it relatively easy to create a GUI editor that generates HTML. Since it is a .NET assembly, the HtmlEditor can also be used with Visual Basic .NET or any .NET language. However, because it invokes a native Windows DLL it will not work with Mono or other .NET implementations on Linux or the Mac. The HtmlEditor is presented as a sample: it is free for both commercial and non-commercial use.
Visual Studio .NET also supports using Internet Explorer as an ActiveX control. This is also a viable approach, and probably better if you want to embed a web browser in your application. However, some people have run into problems with the ActiveX control, and the HtmlEditor is easier to customise. If you want to display and/or edit HTML, the HtmlEditor may be a better solution.test and it is a smaller footprint too.

He may still be a few hundred performances shy of his character's most prolific performer, but it's delightfully obvious that John Preece knows Tevye the milkman as intimately as Tevye knows his God.
Only a few scattered seats were empty Tuesday night at the Orpheum Theater, where Preece, who last headlined "Fiddler on the Roof" in Omaha in 2005, opened a six-day run in the midst of his 10th national tour in the immortal Broadway musical.
Ably backed by an outstanding cast, Preece puts his own definitive stamp on one of the musical theater's most beloved roles — though one can clearly perceive his respect for Zero Mostel, Broadway's original Tevye, as well as Topol, who originated the role on the London stage and set the role's permanent standard in the 1971 movie.
When he finally retired from the role in 2009, Topol had some 2,500 performances as Tevye to his credit. Preece, with nearly 1,800 appearances of his own, separates himself from the Israeli-born actor with a slightly more humorous approach to the script's funniest lines and a softer, less restrained depiction of Tevye's emotions as the outside world invades and finally conquers his corner of 1905 Russia.
As Tevye explains the purpose of the Jewish prayer shawl early in "Tradition," Preece drew laughter with a pregnant pause before answering, "How did this tradition get started?" with "I don't know." But when third daughter Chava (Chelsey LeBel) declares her intention to marry the Christian Fyedka (Michael Shultz), Preece objects with a desperate anguish that remains consistent whenever her choice confronts him.
The other leading cast members likewise approach their roles with the confidence to avoid spot-on imitations of their predecessors on film. Andrew Boza, for example, takes Motel the tailor to new levels of geekiness as he initially shrinks from asking Tevye's permission to marry Tzeitel (Brooke Hills). But that merely heightens the moment when Motel forcefully discovers his own maturity: "Even a poor tailor is entitled to some happiness!"
Joshua Phan-Gruber's performance as Perchik, meanwhile, offers a reminder of the shortcomings of even the best Broadway film adaptations. He sings "Now I Have Everything," omitted from the movie, in a way that proves that Perchik isn't completely clueless in expressing his feelings for Hodel (Sarah Sesler). The movie also eliminated a second-act speech more clearly linking Perchik's student activism to the spreading anti-Semitism in late czarist Russia.
Gerri Weagraff's Golde seems a bit less the shrew than small-screen audiences may be used to. But her character's Type A qualities had the audience roaring as she tries to get Tevye to meet Lazar Wolf (David B. Springstead Sr.) for the latter's proposal to Tzeitel. "Will you talk to him?" she says surprisingly sweetly before immediately letting Tevye have it: "WILL YOU TALK TO HIM?"
The vocal performances will disappoint few who attend "Fiddler" this week, though the chorus' staccato delivery of "Anatevka" eroded the song's mournful quality. As the show opens, however, the cast delivers "Tradition" with a powerful punch and crystal-clear diction that immediately captures the audience's attention.
Director Sammy Dallas Bayes reproduces Broadway legend Jerome Robbins' original choreography in this touring version.
How well does the cast perform the famous "bottle dance" at Tzeitel and Motel's wedding? The roar from the audience at its climax told it all. Spend a night in Anatevka this week if you can.

Nature's Path & Way To Go
6:38 PM EDT, June 23, 2011
In the land of Oz, Dorothy followed the yellow brick road. In the land of Brooksvale, visitors follow the reddish-brown trail of sandstone that marks many of the paths within the 400-acre nature park and wildlife sanctuary in Hamden.
And those paths will take visitors deep into the woods, leading to the Naugatuck State Forest to the north. Or east along glacial drumlins — deposits of sand and rocks around bedrock. Or a picturesque picnic spot near the banks of Duck Pond.
Brooksvale Park can be a way station for those traveling along the Farmington Canal Trail, a former canal system-turned-multiuse recreational trail. The canal once traveled 86 miles through the heart of the state from New Haven to Northampton, Mass. A side path off the canal trail loops into the park and passes a small zoo with goats (that follow your every move), sheep, chickens, hens and even a peacock.
The visit to the zoo brought back memories of one of my favorite places growing up — Walls Dairy Farm in East Hampton — which had a small petting zoo and the best ice cream around. Although both have long since disappeared, I can still imagine the miniature farm each time I drive past the spot where the restaurant once stood along Route 66.
The history of Brooksvale dates back to the park's namesake, Enos Brooks, who willed his farm to the town in the mid-1800s. The property was used as Hamden's "poor farm," a place where indigents and transients could live and work. The name comes from joining the farmer's last name with the word "vale," a small valley within the park.
The main trail, blazed with red marks on trees, begins just north of the red barn. The trail cuts through the heart of the park, eventually leading to a yellow- and then a white-blazed path. Hikers looking for a longer route can follow the white blazes about a mile to the Quinnipiac Trail and up to the top of the 890-foot Mount Sanford and its lovely view.
A green path travels off the main red trail shortly after the trailhead and goes around the western boundaries of the park, past old lean-tos and a picnic pavilion. A white path, just north of the Veterans Memorial Building, takes visitors along an old ski slope/sledding hill. Violet- and orange-blazed trails will take visitors deeper into the park and along the banks of Hickory Brook. Stone walls, remnants of the poor farm, line some of the trails.
My favorite trail is one that passes the zoo and runs through a pine glade before wrapping around the scenic Duck Pond and into a deep forest. The path opened up again into a large field where bluebirds sit atop bird boxes. The open field provides great birding with the path ending along the top of a glacial drumlin.
So head off to Brooksvale and follow its reddish-brown road, but don't expect to see any witches, scarecrows or flying monkeys. Just some crazy goats.
Route 10 to the Hamden/Cheshire border and turn on Mount Sanford Road. After crossing the Farmington Canal, take a left on Brooksvale Avenue. The entrance is on the right. Peter Marteka can be reached at 860-647-5365, at firstname.lastname@example.com or at The Courant, 200 Adams St., Manchester, CT 06040.

Drew to Serve as Chairman for JDRF Northwest Indiana Walk to Cure Diabetes

Thursday, September 24, 2009
Valparaiso men's basketball coach Homer Drew will serve as walk chairman this Sunday, September 27 for the 2009 Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Northwest Indiana Walk to Cure Diabetes at HiddenLake Park in Merrillville.
The JDRF is the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1 diabetes (formerly known as juvenile diabetes) research worldwide. Over 200 Walks to Cure Diabetes, which serve as the organization's largest fundraising event, are held nationwide every year, including five in the state of Indiana.
Drew has had a number of personal experiences that led him to agree to serve as walk chairman. His wife, Janet, was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, while he also has coached a number of players, including one just last season, who have battled the disease.
He will be supported in his role as walk chairman by many others from Valparaiso University. Both the men's and women's basketball teams will be participating in the walk, and both squads will be available for autographs following the walk's completion, as will the members of the Valpo Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Assistant professor of education Sherry DeMik will be bringing a group of students to participate in the walk as well, along with numerous other people from the Crusader community.
For more information on how to donate or how to participate in Sunday's walk, you can contact the JDRF office at 574-273-1810 or visit www.jdrf.org/northindiana.

I know this was only two weeks, but still. If we have soundboard we should have pix.
So, on January 26, 1974, Elvis began another Vegas engagement, one that lasted two weeks. From what I have heard, Elvis was looking better than he had in years, and the concerts featured newfound energy, as well as the revival of some songs that had been forgotten in 1973. What I am wondering is why there are so few pictures from this time frame, yet so many from the summer engagement later in the year? I mean, with the Elvis concerts we have video of, the camera bulbs are flashing nonstop. So, does anyone know where these pictures have gone? Any info is appreciated, thanks.
I know this was only two weeks, but still. If we have soundboard we should have pix.
if you go to the gallery under 1974 und type january into the search this category function you get a couple of pictures. if the there given date is correct i would not necessarily say that he looks that good...
The main reason that we don't have good pictures from this (and several other) Vegas engagements is because of the strict NO CAMERAS policy that the International/Hilton Hotel had in place.
As for the previous Vegas engagment in August/September '73, there was a book that came out in 2002 entitled CAUGHT IN A TRAP which chronicled this Vegas engagement and included lots of photos from this '73 engagement. In the front of the book, the photographer tells readers exactly how he was able to get so many photos during these shows without getting caught...which included taking his camera apart and reassembling it inside the showroom!!!
Anyway, hopefully this will help answer your question for you!!
TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
Disregard my questions from above...I just found it on Ebay!
This improvement did not start for Elvis that Jan of 1974 but after his Detox at BMH in October-November 1973 Circa. Look at what great tracks he produced during the December Sessions at Stax Studios. And it carried well into 1974 with that kick butt tour of March of 1974 and on...
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
I would like to see some pages of the inside of Elvis Behind the image vol 1&2 please
The book you just ordered....do it have any photos from the concerts you attended? Do you think anyone ever snapped a photo of your scarf and kiss? That would be amazing! Sorry everyone I know I am off topic!

We are very happy with our new bath lights as well as with Y Lighting's efficiency at getting us our lights quickly and carefully packaged.
By:Heather , Homeowner (San Francisco, CA)
My contractor's are still finishing up the remodel, but boy do these lights look and function well so far. If they last for a long time, that will be the only icing on the cake to make them perfect. So far, very happy with the purchase. Everything came in a timely manner and well packaged to prevent damage.

If there's a single word that describes Wigglytuff, it's "outclassed". While her movepool is titanic and chock full of marvelous moves, her relatively poor stats and Normal typing hinder her. Her huge HP stat is dwarfed by her horrendous base defenses, and her mediocre offensive stats hinder her from doing much damage outside of Seismic Toss. Being a Normal-type, Wigglytuff also has to compete with numerous other Pokemon that boast massive movepools, and most of the time, they'll have better stats all around, as well as a couple of other nifty moves that Wigglytuff misses out on. However, one shouldn't discount Wigglytuff immediately; with her particularly large support movepool, she can be quite an effective supporter, despite how outclassed she is in that role. In the end, know that Wigglytuff is not a truly bad Pokemon; she's just so horribly outclassed that it's hard to justify using her over any of the other viable Normal-types in UU, and even NU.
When it comes to defensive Normal-types, Wigglytuff definitely isn't a popular choice in UU, as she is horribly outclassed by Clefable, Chansey, and Lickilicky. However, with useful support moves in Wish, Heal Bell, and Thunder Wave, as well as passable defenses, Wigglytuff can still be fairly effective in that role.
Wish is a fantastic move to heal weakened teammates with, and provides valuable team support. Protect can scout for troublesome moves, and alongside Wish, forms a means of reliable recovery that allows Wigglytuff to stick around for quite some time. Seismic Toss is Wigglytuff's best form of offense against most foes, and, while it doesn't do amazing damage, it is the best option Wigglytuff has in that regard (while Wigglytuff's STAB move, Hyper Voice, might seem better, it really only does more damage against frail Pokemon like Sceptile). The last slot depends on what kind of support you need for your team. Heal Bell is a useful option if your team is vulnerable to status, while Toxic and Thunder Wave cripple walls and sweepers, respectively. However, if you lack a Pokemon with Stealth Rock, Wigglytuff can use it in the last slot instead.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
While Wigglytuff would seem to be another generic dual screen user, her large support movepool enables her to stand out amongst the sea of possible options. Boasting access to extremely helpful moves in Wish, Heal Bell, and Stealth Rock, and plenty of bulk to use both screens and her support options, Wigglytuff can prove to be an effective user indeed.
Reflect and Light Screen help bolster Wigglytuff's mediocre defenses. Stealth Rock support is very important, as some sweepers, such as Belly Drum Linoone, just barely miss out on some necessary KOs against some Pokemon at full health; thus, Stealth Rock is essential to allow these Pokemon to nab these KOs. The last slot depends on what you feel your sweeper will appreciate the most. Heal Bell's ability to cure status can help your sweeper later in the match if your sweeper had been burned or paralyzed earlier. However, Wish can essentially give sweepers a second chance to sweep under screens, and can also help get a frailer Pokemon into the match. Wish also gives Wigglytuff some more longevity to use Light Screen and Reflect with. If you feel that your desired sweeper doesn't need either support option, Seismic Toss is an option to do decent damage and prevent Wigglytuff from being rendered completely useless by Taunt.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
With a titanic movepool, Wigglytuff has plenty of other options that she can use with some success. As far as alternative support moves go, Wigglytuff has access to Sing, Knock Off, Sweet Kiss, and even Charm. With her nice bulk, she can use the effects of all of these moves to an extent. However, for most of these moves, they're either too unreliable, or have effects that aren't as good as the other support options that Wigglytuff has access to. Wigglytuff also makes a respectable user of Gravity, with plenty of moves that benefit from it such as Sing, Fire Blast, Thunder, and Blizzard. However, with mediocre offenses, she fails to be outstanding at abusing it offensively, while her defenses also aren't quite good enough to continually switch into attacks to set it up. Perish Song would be a fantastic move to use on Wigglytuff; however, the fact that it's incompatible with Wish makes it a less-than-stellar option. Fake Tears and Tickle are options to potentially cause switches and soften up opposing Pokemon, but are poor options in general. With Wigglytuff's huge HP stat and low defensive stats, she makes a respectable user of Counter, though unfortunately, her lack of a one-turn recovery move, and low Speed make it difficult for her to pull it off continually and makes it really only worth it for the surprise value.
Physically, Wigglytuff has plenty of options to abuse. Return, Focus Punch, Ice Punch, ThunderPunch, and Fire Punch are just a small portion of the physical attacks that Wigglytuff has access to. Because of this, Wigglytuff can make a decent abuser of a Choice Band or physical Life Orb set, though her mediocre Attack stat prevents this from being a great option. Specially, Wigglytuff has even more options, boasting strong attacks such as Hyper Voice, Ice Beam, ThunderBolt, Fire Blast, and Grass Knot to give a basic idea of how diverse her movepool is on the special side. Like on the physical side, Wigglytuff can use a Choice Specs or a Life Orb set with decent success. Unlike the physical side however, Wigglytuff has access to a boosting move in Charge Beam, which, while not particularly amazing, can help bolster her barely acceptable Special Attack. You could also try to mix some of her physical and special options to turn Wigglytuff into a mixed attacker; however, despite the astounding coverage that Wigglytuff would have with this kind of set, it's still easy to wall due to Wigglytuff's poor offenses.
Checks and Counters
Wigglytuff's defenses, while decent, are not really top-notch, and strong attackers such as Aggron, Hitmonlee, and Rhyperior should be able to break through them with ease. In particular, Fighting-types work well, as they immediately threaten Wigglytuff with their strong, super effective STAB attacks. However, if Wigglytuff is carrying a status move such as Toxic or Thunder Wave, you will want to use Pokemon that won't have issues with these lest you have a crippled Pokemon on your hands. If Wigglytuff is using Toxic, Venusaur makes a great counter. Swords Dance variants can set up on her easily, while support sets can abuse her huge HP stat with Leech Seed. If Thunder Wave is used, Rhyperior works well, having the ability to set up on her with either Swords Dance or Rock Polish, and threatening her from the get-go with his monstrous Attack stat. Substitute users such as Mismagius and Rotom can block her attempts to status them and can proceed to set up. Taunt will also stop Wigglytuff in her tracks, as most of the time, her best form of offense will be Seismic Toss.
